login-checker
The login-checker tool is designed to assess login functionalities and identify the presence of two-factor authentication (2FA) on various websites. It integrates seamlessly within automated security workflows, helping teams verify the security posture of their authentication mechanisms.
Ideal Use Cases & Fit
The login-checker excels in scenarios involving:
- Security assessments of web applications focusing on login processes.
- Automated penetration testing workflows that require authentication checks.
- Environments where the identification of 2FA is critical before deeper testing.
It is especially effective when provided with a list of website URLs along with corresponding usernames and passwords. However, it is less suited for applications that do not involve standard login fields or require interaction beyond the form submission.
Value in Workflows
This tool enhances security workflows by facilitating early reconnaissance phases where login security is examined. It can help identify vulnerable endpoints before transitioning to more aggressive testing strategies. Additionally, it provides valuable insights during post-processing phases by summarizing the login results in a structured format.
Input Data
The login-checker requires input data formatted as newline-separated entries specifying the URL, username, and password, in the following structure:
https://example.com/login|testuser|testpass
https://example.org/login|testuser|testpass
This structured input enables the tool to execute login checks effectively and is essential for its operation.
Configuration
- target: Specifies the input file containing URLs, usernames, and passwords required for the login checks.
- timeout: Defines the maximum time duration (in seconds) the tool will operate before timing out, ensuring efficient resource management.
By configuring these parameters appropriately, workflow builders can optimize the performance of the login-checker within their automated security assessments. Updated: 2026-01-13
